Description Sascha Manns 2012-04-25 16:36:28 UTC 
I've tried out to run kwrite with root-permissions. In the Konsole i've typed: kdesu kwrite /etc/fstab. The KWrite comes up, i can access the fstab, but no keyboard is visible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. kdesu kwrite anything
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
No virtual keyboard

Expected Results:  
virtual keyboard

Balsam Professional 12.1 and used the standard repo, and our devel repo is added too.

You must start a new virtualkeyboard instance for each user you run with. You can do that by running the command below:

$ su -
# plasma-keyboardcontainer
# export QT_IM_MODULE=PlasmaInputContext
# kwrite

With Maliit, the keyboard appears when starting kwrite as root, but it has the wrong skin.
